Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, PyCharm is a Python IDE, having some interesting functions like: code completion, error highlighting, customizable UI and key-bindings for VIM, VCS integrations or automated code refactorings and good navigation capabilities. The latest version available is PyCharm 3.4, which has been recently released, coming with a bunch of improvements and fixes.
In this article I will show you how to install PyCharm 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, LXLE 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis and other Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is available via the GetDeb repository, installing pycharm on the listed Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS systems is easy. Follow the instructions for your system exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
How to install PyCharm 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint 17:
$ wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu trusty-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pycharm
Optional: to uninstall pycharm, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove pycharm
PyCharm requires Oracle Java. If you don’t have it on your system, do this to install Java 8:
$ sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
It’s nice. I didn’t know about getdeb.net. Thank you it really helped.
